Dual spoilers = fail. I'm not a fan.

i think it looks better than the lip spoiler by itself forsure. Hey i have a question. do you know if your girlfriend has trouble opening the trunk with the remote key because the trunk just got a lot heavier?

If that were the case, wouldn't everyone that owns an Si have that problem? I can't imagine that lip spoilers weight anything significant.

SI trunks have bigger springs

well the remote unlocks it but she just puts a little more force into opening it but other than that no biggie. si trunk springs should do the trick.

I did the same to my car...but warning...those after market spoilers are not exact specs..so when i grew the balls to drill the holes, i realised that the "indents" were off by 2mm (spoiler was 2 mm short !! )

So I had to adjust the holes a bit and I ended up making humongous holes !!!

Alls well that ends well. Good job though !!
